Representations of Antarctic Exploration by Lesser Known Heroic Era Photographers
Filtering ‘ways of seeing’ through their lenses: representations of Antarctic exploration by lesser known Heroic Era photographers. Patricia Margaret Millar B.A. (1972), B.Ed. (Hons) (1999), Ph.D. (Ed.) (2005), B.Ant.Stud. (Hons) (2009) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science – Social Sciences. University of Tasmania 2013 This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. ………………………………….. …………………..

Patricia Margaret Millar Date ii Abstract Photographers made a major contribution to the recording of the Heroic Era of Antarctic exploration. By far the best known photographers were the professionals, Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley, hired to photograph British and Australasian expeditions. But a great number of photographs were also taken on Belgian, German, Swedish, French, Norwegian and Japanese expeditions. These were taken by amateurs, sometimes designated official photographers, often scientists recording their research. Apart from a few Pole-reaching images from the Norwegian expedition, these lesser known expedition photographers and their work seldom feature in the scholarly literature on the Heroic Era, but they, too, have their importance. They played a vital role in the growing understanding and advancement of Antarctic science; they provided visual evidence of their nation’s determination to penetrate the polar unknown; and they played a formative role in public perceptions of Antarctic geopolitics. -
Chapter 2: Ocean Observations
Chapter 2. Ocean observations 2.1 Observational methods With the rapid advancement in technology, the instruments and methods for measuring oceanic circulation and properties have been quickly evolving. Nevertheless, it is useful to understand what types of instruments have been available at different points in oceanographic development and their resolution, precision, and accuracy. The majority of oceanographic measurements so far have been made from research vessels, with auxiliary measurements from merchant ships and coastal stations. Fig. 2.1 Research vessel. Accuracy: The difference between a result obtained and the true value. Precision: Ability to measure consistently within a given data set (variance in the measurement itself due to instrument noise). Generally the precision of oceanographic measurements is better than the accuracy. 2.1.1 Measurements of depth. Each oceanographic variable, such as temperature (T), salinity (S), density , and current , is a function of space and time, and therefore a function of depth. In order to determine to which depth an instrument has been deployed, we need to measure ``depth''. Depth measurements are often made with the measurements of other properties, such as temperature, salinity and current. Meter wheel. The wire is passed over a meter wheel, which is simply a pulley of known circumference with a counter attached to the pulley to count the number of turns, thus giving the depth the instrument is lowered. This method is accurate when the sea is calm with negligible currents. In reality, research vessels are moving and currents might be strong, and thus the wire is not straight. The real depth is shorter than the distance the wire paid out. -

Some of the hazards of last season's programme were average temperatures of minus 30deg Celsius and 23 eruptions which hurled lava bombs from the inner crater up to 200m in the air. - Antarctic Division photo , , _, ., -. ,, p- Registered at Post Office Headquarters, Marrh 1 QRd VOL 1U, NO.
